If you listen to the ATC tapes (link posted elsewhere in this thread),
he knew he was low on fuel. He indicates that he had run one tank
dry, and only had 3-6 gallons left in the other tank.


Do you know what his position was when he indicated that?



Sure it's armchair QB'ing, but at this point, he should have been
relaying exact position and asking for the USCG chopper/ships to be
rolling.


That assumes he was able to determine his exact position. What navigational
capabilities did he have aboard?
